Switching off Release the on-off trigger switch. The on-off trigger switch can be locked on for continuous operation by pressing the trigger lock button whilst pulling the trigger. To release the trigger lock, simply pull the trigger switch again. Speed control During operation and whilst the machine is at rest the stroke rate (speed) can be selected using the thumbwheel (5). The stroke rate will remain constant even under load. The stroke rate required depends upon the material conditions. The optimal setting should be determined in use. After working for longer periods at low speed you should allow the machine to cool down by running it at maximum speed with no-load for approx. 3 minutes. Adjusting the foot plate angle Fig.D To allow the foot plate to follow and securely rest on the workpiece, the angle of the footplate can be adjusted as shown in the diagram. The footplate can also be extended by loosening the two footplate length adjustment screws (Fig. A8) using the 4 mm hexagon key and then pulling the footplate out to the required length. Ensure the footplate adjustment screws are secure before resuming work. c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could result in hazardous situation. h. Damaged switches must be replaced at a customer service repair centre. Do not use power tools that cannot be switched on and off. i. Do not leave power tools unattended while they are switched on. Always switch off the tool and wait until it has come to a full standstill before leaving. j. If the mains cable has been damaged, it must be replaced with a special mains cable. These can be obtained from the manufacturer or the manufacturer's customer service department. The mains cable may only be replaced by the manufacturer, the manufacturer's customer service department or equally qualified persons. Sawing tips Adjust saw blade and stroke rate to suit the material to be processed. For right radius curves it is best to use a narrow saw blade. Apply coolant or lubricant to deal with the beat produced along the cut line when sawing metal. Check wood, chip boards, building materials etc, for foreign bodies (nails, screws etc.), before sawing and remove them, if necessary. Clamp material well. Do not support the workpiece with hand or foot. Do not touch objects or the floor with the saw running (danger of backlash). Material containing asbestos must not be sawn! Put the footplate on the surface of the workpiece, and saw through it with constant contact pressure or feed. If the saw blade seizes switch the machine off immediately. Spread the gap with a suitable tool and pull out the saw blade. After finishing work, switch off the machine and only put down after it has come to a complete standstill. Plunge cutting Fig.E Plunge cutting may only be used on soft materials such as wood, aerated concrete, gypsum plaster boards, etc. However, this requires a certain practise and is only possible with short saw blades. Place the saw onto the workpiece and switch it on. Ensure that the bottom edge of the footplate rests on the workpiece surface as shown. 5) Battery tool use and care a. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. b. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. c. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire. d. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns of a fire. e. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritations or burns. 6) Service a. Please use a qualified expert who uses original replacement parts to repair your power tool. This will ensure proper functioning of the power tool. b. Caution! The use of any accessories or additional tools other than those recommended in this manual may lead to an increased risk of injury. Only use original replacement parts.
